Invite To Edit for InDesign
Just wondering if we might one day see an Cloud Based Invite To Edit feature similar to the Illustrator and Photoshop feature for InDesign? I assume this might come when there is a iPad capable version for iPad? While it is not needed all the time I sometimes have to share a file to be edited by internal people in a company and it would be great if it could be shared and collaborated on so there is one master version of the file instead of sharing and then having an outdated file after they have done updates or changes.

Add snippets to CC libraries
I often have several items grouped together with a text box (like a png image used as a background for a textbox). I often need to use that group multiple times, so I usually make snippets out of them so I can easily place the whole group repeatedly. It would be FANTASTIC if I could store snippets in the CC library. I don't even really bother using CC libraries most of the time because the thing I most often need to place between documents are snippets.

Place Linked IDMS
It would be awesome if we could link a IDMS file or be able to add a InDesign file to CC Libraries and be able to place that into another InDesign file. This would be great for reusing pieces of text or layout that occasionally gets updated in multiple documents. When place the IMDS there could be an option to keep the link so if the version in the library is updated so is the placed version or to place a copy that does not stay associated with the one in the Library.
I know it is possible to place…

Make Extracted Shapes 'smarter'
Extract Shapes in InDesign is in essence a good idea, but with a bad execution.
And it has been like that (not so smart, that is) since its inception as the original Shapes app or even now within the Capture app for mobile.In stead of yielding a directly editable vector based result (with an Illustrator signature) it creates a purely black and white 'graphic' file format, which still needs a lot of handling to e.g. change the color of its vectors.
Suppose I'd like to use the traced outlines of a flower, or the extracted rough structure of bricks,…

aic
Please Make it possible for InDesign to read aic-files, since it is a huge part of working with InDesign to Place ai-files
.
There can be a lot of ways to do that.
The easiest way is just to allow InDesign to open the "gate" to the "cloud-folder" and read it from there, since it is already done from Illustrator and Photoshop.
another way could be th make a "ghost-file" in the local CC-folder that shows a mirror or links to the file from there.And there is possibly a lot of other opportunities aswell.
I just don't understand that…

Live Collaboration Feature
Please add a function to collaborate on one document with multiple users simultaneously. Version Control is one of the biggest tasks on our Indesign projects.

Allow Extensis Suitcase to Connect to Adobe Fonts Subscription
I understand that this isn't a specific InDesign feature request, but I can't seem to find any way to put in a feature request for Adobe Fonts.
Until, and unless, Adobe decides to create a full-featured font management software package, it would be great if for subscribers of Extensis Suitcase that we could link our Adobe account to access fonts from within Suitcase much the same way we can access Google fonts.

CC Library - PARENT SLIDES
Being able to drag and drop parent slides from CC would save me considerable time going back and forth when a look has been altered in e.g. company templates.

Allow option for Stock ID in links panel
I would like an easy way to get a list of Stock IDs from my links panel. The stock file names are very impractical to deal with, and often I need to links of the stock images Im using to clients.

Auto save every change to Creative Cloud and Dropbox
There really needs to be an auto save like you find in Office 365 & Google Docs. I know it has a background auto recovery but I don't trust that. It would make everything easier if every action was auto saved via cloud to the original file. Of course, still keep the back up recovery save feature.

Update snippets/version history
It would be good to have an effortless way to update the snippets. I usually work with lot of snippets and sometimes the customer wants minor changes. Now it's easier to create a new snippet instead of updating an old one.
Also, the version history could be useful to track changes.1 vote -

Placing Cloud Documets
Placing Cloud Documents in InDesign would vastly improve and simplify the workflow of a project started in apps such as Photoshop, Fresco, or Illustrator on iPad Pro. This would allow editing the files placed in the InDesign file without the need to export the Cloud Documents to a compatible often uneditable file format.

Import/export Share for Review comments
The new Share for Review feature is great. I've noticed though that once the file is moved, the comments are lost or no longer linked to the copy of the file. I have also seen that only one person has access to comments (although I have not tested this). This does not seem useful when you think about the workflow of an ad agency, where files are usually started by one person (say an art director), then passed along and finished by others (like a designer or studio artist). If comments can't be passed along with the document, it disrupts…

Allow Para and Char styles to be imported from libraries together
When we create a set of styles, there are both para and char styles. If I select both at the same time, I don't get the option to import them. It would be nice if we could have a single step of importing all styles in a group at the same time so users don't have to make sure they're selecting just one or the other. It trips people up all the time when they accidentally have one of the character styles selected with all the para styles.

Allow individuals to print or save PDF from Share For Review link
Currently you are unable to accurately print a document shared for review directly from InDesign in the cloud service. There should be a toggle to enable the option to do so from the individual sharing the file. Many people like to physically markup documents in addition to their digital comments.

Store GREP strings in Library
I often have to use the same long GREP strings in multiple documents and for multiple projects (eg. custom targeting of words and/or characters at the end of a paragraph to avoid orphans). Depending on the context, it can get complicated. I currently have a spreadsheet so I don't have to reformulate every time I need one, but I would like to store them as easily as character or paragraph styles so I can reference them again and again.

Place .aic and .psdc files
As work flows are continuing to become more and more cloud based with the new photoshop and illustrators, the natural step would be to allow us to place .aic and .psdc files into an InDesign file. These items will be invaluable as we build for future users.

Allow online document checking for all documents at the discretion of the user
Often a document gets 'slightly' corrupted. It still works, but you will get warnings about errors that cannot be solved (out of date cross references for instance) and InDesign crashes on a regular basis. But InDesign itself doesn't recognise the document as problematic. It would be nice to send such a document to Adobe's servers for a repair.
